*All fields are optional (except for 'Name')
*Images must be specified in a format like <code><nowiki>|Image   = [[Image:Image name.png|170px]]</nowiki></code> &mdash; leaving out the <code><nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki></code> markup causes a table layout error in Internet Explorer.  The caption is handled as a separate template parameter, not an <nowiki>[[Image:...]]</nowiki> parameter.
*'''All information in the infobox should also be in the article prose''', in some (usually ''more'' not less detailed) form, '''and should be sourced there.'''  Please do ''not'' put reference citations in the infobox nor add information to the infobox before adding it the main article text.  Infoboxes are convenient ''summarizations'' of important stats from articles; they are not articles unto themselves and should not be treated as such.
*The official rankings for the current season are available [http://www.worldsnooker.com/Official_Rankings.htm here]. '''Do not''' use ''provisional rankings'' in the infobox, although they can be included (if noted as provisional) in the main text of the article. Wait until the official rankings are released for the next season (or when the season has just finished, use the rankings from [http://www.global-snooker.com/world-professional-snooker-ranking-lists.asp here] as they are usually correct, and the official rankings take a long time before they are released) before editing the data in the infobox; also wait until the field name is '''changed''' to reflect the current season and the '''article''' for the next seasons rankings is made. Make sure '''all''' articles that contain this infobox are updated; this should be done in one long editing session when the infobox field is updated, to ensure that none of them are left out. This will probably be co-ordinated from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker|Snooker WikiProject]].
*Fill in what tournaments a player has won in the actual article, in a separate section from the rest, rather than in the infobox. Only list the ''number of events'' that player has won, in the infobox's '''Ranking wins''' and '''Other wins''' fields, apart from the '''World champ''' field, where you can list the years.
*The '''Best finish''' field, is for listing the best performance of players who have '''not''' won a ranking tournament yet, and should list the tournament that the player has progressed '''furthest''' in.
*If a player has won all their tournaments before the 1973/1974 season ([[Snooker world rankings 1976/1977|1976/1977]] is when the first snooker world rankings were published), list them under '''Major wins =''' (not shown above), like in the [[John Pulman]], [[Fred Davis (snooker player)|Fred Davis]] and [[Walter Donaldson (snooker player)|Walter Donaldson]] articles.
*If a player has won some tournaments before and after the 1973/1974 season, list them according to [[Snooker world ranking tournaments]].
*The '''Nationality''' field is used here to reflect the regional divisions within snooker, not the player's legal citizenship.  In snooker, players represent the constituent countries of the UK i.e. England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland as can be seen at the official [[International Billiards and Snooker Federation]] website at [http://www.ibsf.info/past-champions.shtml].  The Wikipedia usage reflects the real life usage within the game.  It is also not just Wikipedia that does this, the [[BBC]] have also adopted this usage as can be seen at [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/results/default.stm].  This is a ''Snooker Player Infobox'', not a biography box and its purpose is to express information about the player in relation to their sport.
*'''Flag templates''': Please use flags properly, per [[Wikipedia:Don't overuse flags]] (it is not an official guideline yet, but will probably become part of the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]] fairly soon):
**Flag templates are ''only'' used for the '''Nationality''' field in the infobox (and ''should'' be used there, with the excepetion of Northern Ireland).  Format: <code><nowiki>| Nationality  = {{flagicon|England}} [[England|English]]}}</nowiki></code>
**Flag templates are ''never'' used for birth/death places, as this improperly implies citizenship/nationality that simply may not apply (many people are born, and even die, abroad).
**Emphatically do '''not''' use the [[Flag of Northern Ireland|Ulster banner]], {{tlx|flagicon|Northern Ireland}}: {{flagicon|Northern Ireland}} for "Nationality" in infoboxes.  This flag does not officially or civically represent N.I. any longer and hasn't in years. Meanwhile (much more seriously) use of the flag to indicate someone's ''nationality as a person'' (which is what infobox usage does) is a major [[WP:NPOV|point of view]] problem.  The U.B. is a major Unionist political rallying symbol; using it in infoboxes implies a political position not a nationality.  Technically, the proper infobox usage for people from N.I. is <code><nowiki>| Nationality  = [[Northern Ireland|Northern Irish]]}}</nowiki></code>. Irish Nationalists are equally offended by this, however, making that, too, a p.o.v.-pushing issue.
**The Ulster Banner ''is'' appropriate for use in ''sports statistics'' tables, such as tournament results, because the flag, curiously, ''does'' have official status in various sport federations as the flag of N.I. for sporting purposes, and it carries no political connotations when used in this context.  So, for example, Alex Higgins should have no flag in his infobox, but in ranking tournament results would have the Ulster Banner, and if he participated in some [[Mosconi Cup]]-like multinational team snooker event (e.g. Europe vs. Asia-Pacific or something) represtenting the UK, those sport stats results would have him with a Union Jack.  ''Update: There is growing though still marginal consensus in other sports articles to use a shamrock to represent Northern Ireland. This debate is not settled as of May 2007, but it is unlikely that this usage will offend anyone. The specific image can be found easily in N.I. footballer's infoboxes.''
